The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> are in a packed portion of their schedule, playing their fifth game in seven nights on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks. There\u2019s a good chance we see them strategically rest a few players tonight. Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell have already been ruled out (Mobley with the calf, Mitchell with a groin strain).<\/p>\n

James Harden is also listed as questionable after suffering a fracture in his right thumb last night versus the New York Knicks. It\u2019s impossible to know with this stuff \u2014 but it appears Harden\u2019s injury was a best-case scenario and he shouldn\u2019t miss much time. Of course, take that with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n

Cleveland is getting a slight relief in their opponent tonight. After facing the Knicks yesterday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, the Milwaukee Bucks should seem easier. That\u2019s partly why the Cavs are resting a few of their key players. They might not even need them tonight.<\/p>\n

With that said, it\u2019s important to never overlook an opponent. The Bucks may be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they still have NBA players on their roster who can burn you.<\/p>\n

Former Cavalier Kevin Porter Jr. is playing quality basketball recently, scoring 32 points in his last game against the Miami Heat. Bobby Portis is a bucket, as well. He\u2019ll be someone to watch for in this matchup.<\/p>\n
